Diverse leadership thriving on differences in experience and approach to issues
Geological excellence at all levels combined with vast experience and innovative thinking
Lean approach to staffing, maximising collaboration and buy-in to key decisions
The Greenfields Exploration team has been designed specifically to meet the requirements of a project incubator company. A project incubator is all about identifying work which will add the greatest value to a project and making a decision as to whether that work should be handled in-house or outsourced. There are not a huge volume of decisions that need to be made, but those decisions need to be made on the basis of careful analysis, questioning underlying habits and assumptions. As such a range of opinions need to be involved every step of the way. Our team is structured to provide this range in the leanest format possible.
